Currently, no one knows what Radionomy has planned for Winamp's future, but people still use and love Winamp. 2014 Radionomy purchased Winamp (following rumors that companies including Microsoft were looking to buy it) with a rumored cost of 5-10 million with AOL holding 12 percent.Ī 'leaked' beta appeared in 2018 that some say wasn't leaked at all, so Radionomy responded by releasing an official revised beta in October of 2018 to clarify the confusion. Nullsoft sold to AOL in 1999 for 80 million dollars.ĪOL then announced that Winamp would shut down in 2013. Winamp is one of the most popular audio players of our time designed by Justin Frankel and Dmitry Boldyrev and their company, Nullsoft. Winamp users also like to share their custom made skins.
Winamp continues to live in, and people love it even with its complicated history of ownership and releases.
